La idea de hacer un video sobre mi ciudad empezó en un principio como el ofrecer un paseo turístico por mis rincones favoritos, pero poco a poco se fue convirtiendo en otra cosa... ¿acaso me traicionó el subconsciente? Posiblemente...
Elegí fotos de los atardeceres incomparables de mi ciudad, ciudad que odio y amo a partes iguales, recordando esa frase que dice: "Mira en cada atardecer la promesa de un mañana"...
Aprovecho este canal de comunicación para dar así las gracias a todas aquellas personas que me han aguantado y apoyado en mis momentos de bajón durante estos cuatro años, familia, compañeros de curre y a mis amigos (reales o virtuales, no hago distinción, son igualmente importantes para mí). Gracias.
Gracias también a Pride of Lions por componer esta canción, ya que vinieron aquí para hacer una gira promocional y se encontraron con aquello... y de ahí les salió este enorme tema "Black Ribbons".
Han pasado ya cuatro años y los que estamos aquí, nos acordamos de los que nos faltan, pero la vida sigue y hay que tirar p'alante como sea.
Este es un tributo a mis compañeros de trenes, a los ausentes y a mi Madrid, de aquel jodido día, que jamás olvidaremos, por mucho que vivamos.
In memoriam.

[I tried to make a nice video about my city, just like a touristic walk around my favourite corners but that idea became into another different thing... Did my memories betray me? Well, maybe... So I chose some pics of the amazing sunsets we have here, thinking on that quote: "Look in each sunset the promise of a tomorrow". Through this channel I want to thank all the pple who have endured and supported me and my down moods along these four years, family, colleagues and friends. To all of you thanks. Tnx also to Pride of Lions, for composing this huge song: "Black Ribbons", touched maybe for our pain when they came here for their promotional journey and found that unexpected stuff... 4 years have passed since then and we, who are here, miss so much those who are not..., but life goes on and we have to carry on as we can. This is supposed to be a humble tribute to my trains' colleagues and to my Madrid, from that *** day, that we'll never forget, by far. In memoriam.]
(Gracias por la letra Rafa)
Pride Of Lions - Black Ribbons (Voices Of The World)
What difficult day / A typical day
(am not sure about the first phrase...)
A Thursday in Spain
Before the shower of tears and rain
Sweet gentle souls
Riding the train to work in the morning
To all of the hearts
And innocent lives
We light a candle in the night
An eternal flame
To a moment that came without a warning
We can't predict the course of life
Or where the madness starts
What will it take to sooth our wounded hearts?
Voices of the world
Rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons
To show the world we care
United by our love
And the sorrow that we share
You know us by the ribbons
Black ribbons that we wear
What can you say?
How can you feel?
How can a thousand families heal?
When missiles of rage
And misguided schemes are still in the making
The most that we can ever do is grieve with all our heart
And hold the torch of freedom in the dark
(Come on everybody)
Voices of the world
Rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons
To show the world we care
United by our love
And the sorrow that we share
You know us by the ribbons
Black ribbons that we wear
Strike the chords that never die
Sing a song of faith
Tow the bells that free the world
Stop these crimes of pain
Lord gives us the fate
Voices of the world
Rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons
To show the world we care
United by our love
And the sorrow that we share
You know us by the ribbons
And all the grace we're given
You know us by the ribbons
Black ribbons that we wear
